Stuff that makes you disproportionately cross

Colleagues openly complaining/stating that:

They cannot get promotion opportunities as they keep failing the maths tests;

They cannot work out their new monthly salary after the just announced pay offer;

They cannot calculate the percentage of days they have been in the office to meet the hybrid working target.

Most of you know where I work. FML.

Motorcyclists who don’t know the difference between filtering and barging in. Whats the point of squeezing past me at traffic lights if you are just going to sit in front of me taking up as much room as a car but with a louder exhaust.

Appliances with complicated controls with too many buttons, the ones that are ‘smart’ just why

I’ve yet to discover why the dishwasher would need an app.

People driving around leaking diesel. It should be treated like driving on bald tyres.

Because if someone will buy something, someone else will sell it.

Yeah. Someone on a group I'm in shared a crazy pov video the other day of him going down hard on a roundabout on his Royal Enfield bike. Really really nasty stuff.

If you're on a tarrif like Octopus Agile then it's useful to be able to turn stuff on when electricity is cheaper, so having appliances online (and with a public API) enables you to do that using home automation. Once a manufacturer has added the online capability it's a small step to make an app, so I'd say the app is a side effect of it being online rather than a necessity.

But then you get some manufacturers who don't support any third party access so you can't do the automation side of it which means you'd have to check the next day's electricity prices yourself then use their crappy app to attempt to schedule your appliance to start, which it then fails to do and makes you disproportionately cross.

Not sure why any of them need AI though!

...him going down hard on a roundabout on his Royal Enfield bike.

Niche content right there!

My airfryer has an app, too. So now the Chinese know when I'm cooking chips ?‍♂️

I have kinda found a workaround; Facebook kept furnishing my feed with a sanctimonious quote from John Cleese about people being offended, which eventually triggered me into commented something along the lines of go away you silly old twit but in a way which breached FB community guidelines. On the plus side I haven't seen a single John Cleese quote since, result!

Jackets that don't have a hanging loop. Absolutely does my nut in.

Yep. "Suggested for You" - you know what Mr Zuckerberg, I can save you a job there. I've already selected a load of stuff and a load of people who's

posts I'm interested in, how's about you once in a while you show me them, eh?

People (mostly my mother) saying we're going UP to Wales. Being generous, only the very tip of Anglesey is North of where they (she) lives, possibly. My late father was a lorry driver too.

On that note people who say coming up to London, I once pointed out it was a long way south of where I lived at the time only to be told that one always comes up to London, oh do **** off!

People that 'climbed Snowdon' at the weekend.

Nah man. You walked up a path.

Folk cooking on you tube shorts just copying all what's been done before and describing look at this big boy or bad boy they have produced on a plate

All wanting to sound like Gordon knobend Ramsay

He's actually worth watching when he's taken his tablets to calm down

Then there's Marco Pierre what's his name oh  boy what's he on ?

People (one in particular sitting near me right now) wearing so much perfume they stink out the train.

It stinks.

License plate surrounds—especially ones with something at the top and bottom. Oh, and anything that compares children to pets or tells me the driver believes in sky fairies. Get ****ed.

Hahaha

It's given me a headache

Signs that apply human feelings to inanimate objects like the one in Sainsbury's this morning: "Sorry, I'm feeling poorly so having a rest just now".  **** off it's a checkout, it doesn't feel anything!! Grrrrrrrr

Trains always go up to London.

Yeah, I'll expand this to "creeping infantilization of everyday life"

Stickers on stuff that you need an angle grinder or 48 hours of your life to remove fully.

The other half giving me a kiss when she's just sprayed all sorts of floral stinky stupid lady potion all over her face and it ruins the taste of my coffee.

Bleurggggghhhhh!

Mmm, ladypotion.

Dear Facebook,

anything that compares children to pets

I love animals.  I love pets, I particularly love cats, we have three of them.

I despise the saccharine-sweet baby-replacement bullshit that some people insist on hanging onto their pets. It seems to be a particular affliction of Americans but far from exclusively so.

"Fido doesn't look impressed with his Halloween costume!"  Of course he doesn't, he's a ****ing dog not a Barbie doll.  "Tiddles crossed over the rainbow bridge yesterday."  I'm sincerely sorry for your loss but, rainbow bridge, what are you, 12?  "My fur baby is sleepy today!"  You badly need to get laid.

Caps on plastic bottles that no longer come completely off, rather fold to one side.

I appreciate it's to encourage the caps to be recycled, but why would folk only recycle the bottle and not the cap?  Savages.

Neither works on the app though, and who uses Facebook on a browser any more?

"You badly need to get laid"

This seems rich coming from someone who seems to be disproportionately cross a disproportional amount of the day.

See, I like this.  Not for green reasons but so that you can't drop it and watch it skitter away under the fridge.  It's a godsend on 500ml bottles when you're in the car.  And if it really bothers you you can still rip it off.  Loose caps are going to go the way of ringpulls unless they've patented it.

Me?  I hate poking at a phone screen, I'll use a computer wherever possible.

Here in Greater Manchester you're not allowed to put the cap in the recycling, it has to be removed and put in the black bin. If it's attached, it's allowed in recycling.

Their reasoning is that the loose caps get mixed up with the glass and cause a problem.

Loose caps are going to go the way of ringpulls unless they’ve patented it.

It's not patented (maybe specific designs?), I think it's an EU law/directive/whatever. And what's this about ringpulls? Have they gone somewhere?

When you have a week off work and its rain rain rain. F*****g rain. Still waiting for some summer weather. **** off rain.

And what’s this about ringpulls? Have they gone somewhere?

Your age is showing.

When I was a kid, ringpulls came completely away from cans.  We used to make low-grade projectile weaponry out of them.

Not really, I badly need to get laid also.

I'd settle for being laid badly

I put my friking bin out last night ....and it's still there.. the reycling bins got taken, but they are weekly rather than fortnightly, and a different outfit/subcontractor...

Caps on plastic bottles that no longer come completely off, rather fold to one side.

Now I'm very much with you there, they're just in the f'ing way.

Even more so the ones on cartons of juice. Firstly, they get in the way of pouring, resulting in the juice missing the glass and disgorging itself all over the workto instead. Gah. And secondly, can't really be recycled with the carton anyway cos that's mostly not plastic. So, just whats the point?

Not really, I badly need to get laid also.

FFS, I give up

I'll add "the fact that it's so difficult to do things on this forum that we've been doing on forums since the late 90s, like linking to images" to the list

Savages who make cheese scones with the same dough as the currant scones. So they are sweet and cheesy, not savoury, prefer with a dab of mustard powder and Parmesan through them.

Oh well, at least it's the right way around 😉
